JOSEPH BOND was born 6 Aug 1704 at Devises, Wilts, England; died in New Garden, North Carolina (now Guilford College).

First to JANE BEESON on 28 Jan 1778, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Beeson. Jane was born 22 Mar 1760; died 9 Jan 1792, two days after her ninth child was born. Soon after, John Bond Sr. took a second wife named ELIZABETH BEESON, perhaps Jane's cousin. Elizabeth was daughter of William Beeson and Elizabeth Norton. Elizabeth raised Jane's baby girl and the other children were bound out, plus she and John had two children of their own. The second child was born several months after John died, and was therefore not named in John's Will that was written 17 June 1795; Probated Sep 1795.

They moved their membership to Deep River Monthly Meeting and in June 1781, John was disowned from membership.

A few years later, two of these sons were disowned from membership and all moved from the neighborhood.
